That is going to be platform dependent. C has not built-in networking capabilities.

Do you know any socket programming? That's pretty important (and platform-dependent).

Socket programming exists on both Windows and Linux; I haven't programmed for Macintosh (they don't give very good documentation for programmer's, as Microsoft does), so I don't know about that.
Also, I read, somewhere, that Windows socket programming is similar to Linux socket programming.

I believe OSX socket programming uses the POSIX interface, so it should all be similar, but I'm pretty sure you can't just port the code over. Microsoft requires some extra function calls and such.

Macintosh has POSIX sockets just like Linux does. Windows Sockets (Winsock) is quite similar to POSIX sockets.

Excuse the cutting in - im actually searching for a "good" book on socket programming in C. Not to much complexity. Just the basics. any suggestions!

I understand this is a C/C++ part of the forum, but are there any assembly language resources for socket programming?

For Windows? Just use the Windows API documentation. AFAIK the API function names and args are the same for C/C++ and MASM.

I was actually thinking more NASM; I already tried socket programming with MASM32 (and 'invoke' , which I don't like, and don't want to depend on). So as for Win32 API, when it says a parameter is of size WORD, or BYTE (ie CHAR), does it really mean (DWORD)(WORD)(value), etc.? ('push dword 80' instead of 'push word 80' ?)
And as of right now, I don't have almost any knowledge/experience in programming for Linux; it would have been nice if I could develop, for Linux, same programs that I do for Windows (with NASM).

I got an ebook. Linux socket programming by example. Just starting reading but it gets complex pretty fast.. i will give it some time...
